Diego Lopez scored the only goal in the 33rd minute, as that was his 1st goal in La Liga for the club.
Vinicius Junior was racially abused deep in the extra time, and he answered to the provocation from the Valencia fans, and the referee showed him a red card. That was the 1st direct red card for the Brazilian superstar in La Liga.
Vini Jr. signals to the Valencia fans that they’re being relegated to the Segunda División ?
